A quiet Sunday.  Recorded all of the as-built interior house measurements, then calculated the wall and floor / ceiling area in each room.  As near as I can figure, we have 11,000 square feet of walls and ceiling that will need to be painted.  In case you were wondering (and our insurance company did want to know) the flooring breakdown is:
Concrete                  39%
Carpet                      35%
Bamboo                   11%
Slate                        10%
Porcelain tile            5%
The dehumidifier had to be thawed out again this morning.  While that was happening, thoroughly cleaned the new house main level.  The heat pump, when running, emits a medium frequency hum that is much louder than I was expecting.  If that is normal, then some more sound deadening is going to be needed for the guest bedrooms.  Or maybe we can convince folks that what is keeping them up all night is therapeutic white noise…  Steve came over for sauna… and brought me a thanks-for-sharing-your-sauna gift in the form of JW’s eco-friendly distillation.  Had a taste just before bed and boy, oh, boy is that stuff smooth!!!!
